Journey/PA, USA 1986 Upgrade

In 1986, JOURNEY remained at its peak, with only three members remaining, but heading towards collapse. A masterpiece soundboard album representing “RAISED ON RADIO Tour” is now available. This work includes “Philadelphia performance on October 15, 1986”. This is a stereo soundboard recording. “RAISED ON RADIO” was a magnificent hit that jumped to No. 4 in the United States, but the tour ended in about 4 months due to Steve Perry’s stress. I ended up going on hiatus. First of all, let’s look back at the schedule at that time and check the show’s position. 1986《“RAISED ON RADIO” released on April 21st》 ・August 23rd: Performed at Mountain Aire Festival ・September 10th – December 26th – 31st: US #1a (67 performances) ←★Here★ 1987 January 2nd + 4th: USA #1b (2 performances) January 15th-18th: USA #2 (3 performances) February 1st: Alaska performance This is the JOURNEY of 1986/1987. There were no shows in Europe or even in Canada, all shows were in their home country of America. Moreover, only “North America #1” can be called a “tour” with a large number of performances, and the Philadelphia performance of this work was the 23rd concert in the first half. This show is also known for being broadcast on the radio, and its FM soundboard has become a staple. It has been loved as a representative live album from a rare period. This work is also a standard FM broadcast, but it is not a copy or remaster of an existing one, but a new master that was recently discovered. This is the pinnacle version that was created from a DAT master that recorded FM broadcasts (DAT recordings seem to be rebroadcasts, but the exact broadcast date is not known). The recording enthusiast who released it also says that “there is no difference in sound quality compared to the conventional one”, but that is humility. The vocal sub-line (sacis seso), which was harsh with distorted peaks on conventional masters, is smooth, and there is almost no reception noise. Moreover, the DJ etc. that were covered in the broadcast have been carefully removed, making it a soundboard album that can fully serve as an “official work replacement”. What is depicted with such quality is a show full of active feeling that is different from the later Greatest Hits, although it is a summary of the golden era. There is another one in the “RAISED ON RADIO Tour”, and the Detroit performance sound board is also a standard, but the set is different from this work. Let’s compare and organize them here. Classics (11 songs)・Infinity: Lights/Wheel In The Sky・Evolution: Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’・Departure: Any Way You Want It・Escape: Stone In Love/Open Arms/Who’s Crying Now/Don ‘t Stop Believin’ (★)・Frontiers: Send Her My Love/Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)/Faithfully Others (7 songs)・RAISED ON RADIO: Girl Can’t Help It/Raised On Radio /Be Good To Yourself (★)・Street Talk: Strung Out/Oh Sherrie・Others: Only The Young/Jailhouse Rock *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on the soundboard recording of the Detroit performance. …and it looks like this. We will start with “Only The Young”, which was provided for the movie “Vision Quest”, and also selected from the “RAISED ON RADIO” repertoire and Steve Perry’s solo album “STREET TALK”. While it was a golden hit parade that was popular on the charts at the time, famous songs that could only be done on the “RAISED ON RADIO Tour” pop out one after another. In particular, “Raised On Radio”, Perry’s solo songs, and the standard “Jailhouse Rock” are exclusive songs only for this tour. It is a delicious show that is “rare but not plain”. And the performance that spells out such a set is also rare and gorgeous. The official members at the time were Steve, Neal Schon, and Jonathan Cain, but they were supported by Randy Jackson, who later joined officially, as well as Billy Idol, Daryl Hall & John Oates, and Kenny Loggins. Mike Baird is also known for his activities with. With the iron-clad beat that has been used in numerous sessions, he has injected new vitality into the famous songs. The “RAISED ON RADIO Tour” was a hit parade that was filled with loud cheers, but also featured delicious rare songs and ensembles that could only be heard on this tour. This is a live album that replaces the official one where you can experience the whole story with the best stereo sound board. It is the best masterpiece to enjoy “RAISED ON RADIO Tour” at the moment. This is the representative live album of the RAISED ON RADIO Tour, which has become a trio. This is a stereo soundboard recording of “October 15, 1986 Philadelphia Performance”.

It opens with “Only The Young”, which was provided for the movie “Vision Quest”, and there are also plenty of songs from “RAISED ON RADIO” and Steve Perry’s “STREET TALK”.
